K-271 MKII : AKG K-271 MKII: 9 months usage review

I use them in my home studio for multiple purposes: tracking, mixing, leisure listening. They do their job great and there haven't been any issues so far.

Prior to these I've had a pair of 10$ Philips headphones, so AKG was a huge update for me.

Pros:

1. Great sound quality. The bass is not hyped, mids are moderately crisp.

2. Great build quality. It can also fit all head sizes, which for me is rather important as I can rarely find a pair of headphones that can comfortably fit my head. The same for hats and caps, but that's another story.

3. Two detachable cables, two pairs of ear pads (I use the velvet ones).

4. Worth every penny.

Cons:

My sitting posture is slightly slouched, so the firm end of the cable sometimes bears against my shoulder.

If you are not sure whether those are good for you, you may consider buying Beyerdynamics DT770 Pro. I bought AKGs because they were a bit cheaper. If the budget is not an issue, take a look at DT770.
